Next-gen Peugeot 3008 interior images appear online

Here’s an early look at what is said to be the interior of the upcoming Peugeot 3008. Thanks to Kilometer Magazine’s forum goers, two images of the second-gen model’s cabin have been revealed way ahead of its expected launch in October, at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

Taking the unconventional route as always, the entire dashboard of the 3008 appears to have been revised, showcasing the brand’s next step of its i-Cockpit philosophy. As expected, the new cabin is largely inspired by the Peugeot Quartz Concept that was first shown at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

Looking at what’s new, we can see that a wide digital screen has replaced the current 3008’s analogue instrument panel. There’s also new steering wheel with flat upper and lower sections, sleeker air-conditioning vents and a clutter-free centre stack which features a single line of switches. The free-standing media display touchscreen appears larger than before, too.

Beneath this, there’s a cool-looking gear shifter, additional storage compartments and various other items like the electric parking brake switch. Traces of blue ambient lighting can be seen, adding to the cabin’s futuristic ambience. It’s interesting to see that the upcoming 3008 will feature a very new and unique cabin instead of one with borrowed items from the 308 hatchback it is based on.

We’ll have to wait a little longer before getting a closer look at these items as well as the overall vehicle, but things are looking mightily impressive for the second-gen 3008. Additionally, we can tell you that the model is expected to ride on the same EMP2 Platform as the new 308, offering front- and all-wheel drive possibilities.

With an equal passion for fast cars and everyday workhorses, Chris Aaron maintains a passion for European makes, Formula 1, playing the electric guitar and spending endless hours on the PlayStation - first-person shooters and the Gran Turismo franchise are his favourites. He also finds it strange to have written this in the third person.

d pug 3008 is a revolutionary car, surpised didnt see much on d road,
Just went and see a used unit, its well screwed together, practical, even the rear blowers are strong!, very spacious, the glass roof gives am airy cabin

I wont really say the 3008 was revolutionary. Its the same class of car like the Hyundai Matrix…and like the Matrix….it’s not a very pretty thing, although both are comfortable, very spacious and practical and gives a very good commanding view of the road ahead.

And just the the Matrix.. the residual values are quite unfortunate.

The difference is, the matrix was a hugh value preposition which is why they sold boat loads of them. The 3008? Not so much.

Now with the C4 Grand Picasso and the 5008 getting more expensive, perhaps there will be more breathing room for the 3008. Most I recon, would have just gone for the bigger 5008.

Leaked image 6 months before the launch? If this is real I don’t think the Audi-ish virtual cockpit will be a standard feature on lower models. But then again all the peugeots launched in the past couple of years has the touchscreen system on all the trim levels so I won’t be too surprised if it does come as standard.

Also make sure there is sufficient rear leg room, the current 3008 is a bit tight, not good for long distance journey.

How about EXALT?, will the features be translate to new 508 or new model?, Peugeot is too slow to transfer their concept features into real production car but I am ready to upgrade to 300+ HP and 400+Nm torque car if you are ready.

peugeot advantage toward japanese in the past is turbo (340 torque), & 6 speed gear box. i’m very happy with my 408 for the pass 4 years. Now, seem like japanese is chasing up the turbo technology.
Please upgrade your current engine to 300 torque minimum for the next generation car, then , i will continue to be your supporter.

Actually, the Japanese have Turbo for a long time already (like Subaru) but not for mass market.

They are chicken because they are not confident with it realizing additional component (Turbo) will create additional problem for their customers and affect their reputation. They like to play it safe, I call them no balls
